got a new 9600gt sonic, put it in, and whenever i try to load anything 3d, the computer will freeze and stutter, and take about 20 minutes to load the login screen of battlefield 2. the same card work fine on my brothers computer, and loads windows okay, but every game chucks a spaz no matter what on mine.

i've tried reinstalling drivers and using driver cleaner professional, using older drivers, and i'm getting to the point where i'm considering a format... so any heelp at all would be greatly appreciated.

haven't overclocked this card at all, tried underclocking but that didn't help either. its a palit 9600gt sonic 700/2000, running windows xp pro sp2 core 2 duo e6750 and 2gb of ddr667. never had any problem like this with my old 8600gt.

all the text turns into blurred squares and font appears as a background, the screen will flicker as it loads some more... card idles at 35C and thats about all the info i can think of... its getting a bit frustrating and i'd love to get ut working, so any suggestions would be great. thanks

sure, i'll edit my system, thanks. last time i reformatted was quite a while ago, it really wouldn't be a big deal i just don't want to risk losing anything, its easy to backup, but just a pain in the ass really... i think it was late last year my last reformat

PSU should be capable, haven't had any problems with it before, and the 6 pin is plugged in yes

EDIT: i have a lot of fans and leds connected to the psu though, but the 6 pin is connected directly to the psu, i made sure of that... it can't even render the 3d nvidia logo in the quality/performance settings tab...

and i've heard it before... but what does RMA mean again?Edited by agentsmithak - 6/13/08 at 3:17am

yes i have tried fully removing all drivers, cleaning them with driver cleaner and reinstalling them, but to no avail, but good idea none the less thanks, but i've tried lol. not ready to give up just yet
